Neck Pain in Derry
Without a doubt, neck pain is one of the most common complaints at our practice. Considering how much time people spend at their workstations or on their digital devices at home, it’s no surprise that many suffer from neck discomfort.
It’s rare for neck discomfort to be a symptom of a more severe problem. If the pain is accompanied by numbness or loss of strength in your arms or hands, or if you have shooting pain in your shoulder or down your arm, seek medical care immediately.
Uncovering the Root Causes
Neck pain can have various underlying triggers, including poor posture, prolonged screen time, and stress. Our doctor is committed to addressing these root causes to provide long-lasting relief. During your examination, we assess the extent of your neck discomfort, create a plan to get you out of pain, and target the underlying issues contributing to your discomfort.
We believe in providing personalized treatment plans catering to each patient’s needs. We use gentle adjustments to realign the cervical spine and improve the overall function of your neck. Depending on the severity of your condition, we may use manual adjustments or Activator® methods to ensure optimal results.
Empower Your Healing
Patients are instructed on stretching exercises and strengthening techniques that can be incorporated into their daily routine to support the neck’s rehabilitation. By addressing postural habits and providing ergonomic recommendations, we aim to prevent recurring episodes of neck discomfort and promote a healthier lifestyle.
Stress is often a significant contributor to neck pain, especially for women who tend to carry tension in their neck and shoulders. We understand the importance of stress management in promoting overall well-being.
We provide guidance on stress reduction techniques, complemented by the benefits of massage therapy. This therapy helps relax tense muscles, improve circulation, and alleviate discomfort associated with chronic neck issues.
Recovery Stories
One remarkable success story involves a nurse with 30 years of experience who had developed significant arthritis in her neck. Despite a comprehensive examination and initial manual treatments, the results were not as promising as expected.
However, when we switched to the Activator® adjustment method, she experienced immense improvement. She regained mobility, enabling her to rehabilitate at home and enjoy a more active life.
